Holst – It Sounds Better With The Sticker 12″ – 45 rpm edition

Big silver one too.
No hype on the 12″-45 rpm thing either, ask a DJ.

Micro-Acoustics – Found Inside

” Knowledge is good ” – Emil Faber

Okay nerdlettes, how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Careful cost-benefit analysis, factoring the brains to wallet ratio versus the levels of hype & hope is advised before your quest. Keep in mind that common coat hangers have slain giants in the speaker cable world when used as speaker wires.

The journey begins at the business end of the tone arm so consider this record and accompanying literature for a cartridge. The 2002e cost $119 in 1977 dollars which would be around $450 in 2013. A reasonable sum for a critical part of the signal chain.

Proceed thusly and enjoy this Micro-Acoustics time vortex if you are bored at work……..

It Sounds Better With The Sticker – Mono For The Win!

obscureandoblique — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:25:30 +0000

Another Musical Heritage Society rager. I love this label – best buy in classical records.
Anyway, when a MONO sticker has been slapped over a stereo sticker two things are certain:
1. It is going to sound better.
2. It is going to sound better, because it is MONO.

You know, with absolute metaphysical certitude, this thing rules.

It Sounds Better With The Sticker – DG edition

obscureandoblique — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:31:49 +0000

Deutsche Grammophon with a cool sticker that means something, but I don’t speak French. Be assured, it does sound better with the sticker, any arguments to the contrary are invalid, well, because.
